(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 24, 2015 ) New Hampshire -- According to state police, 19-year-old Jessica McCassie was driving alone in her vehicle along Route 101 eastbound in Candia, when she hit a guardrail. Upon hitting the guardrail, Jessica's car crossed over through two lanes of traffic and rolled over the center median. The crash ended with Jessica being ejected from the car. Jessica had then been transported to Elliot Hospital in Manchester, where she succumbed to her injuries a few hours later, according to her mother Joyce Cassie.
Joyce McCassie says that she last spoke to her daughter just a few hours before the crash took place. McCassie apparently had knowledge of her daughter's heroin use problem in reference to her telling authorities that she recalls asking her daughter if she was carrying around heroin. Jessica told her mother no she didn't have anything on her, however according to police reports Jessica was found at the scene of the crash with a heroin needle in her arm.
In wake of Jessica's death, Joyce McCassie and her family are advocating for parents of heroin users to better understanding of the heroin problem that's negatively impacting their community. McCassie says she now realizes how her daughter began to withdraw from her once she began using drugs and that her daughter had been trying to hide her usage to avoid upsetting her. Jessica's aunt Audrey Musso shared how her niece started using heroin her senior year of highschool and begin to change for the worst. Musso also shared that it didn't take long to notice Jessica's addiction because she started to pick at her face and developing pockmarks. musso wanted to let parents know that "heroin knows no class, race, gender, or town lines. Jessica had overdosed nine times before the fatal crash, each time surviving with the help of Narcan, said her family.
"We got her into rehab because she just couldn't do school anymore," her mother said. "She felt like she couldn't function." According to Jessica's family, she had just spent this past Christmas in rehab, where she completed a 30-day treatment program. Upon completion of completing rehab Jessica decided to go stay with her grandmother in Fremont instead of moving into a transitory living facility in Manchester. Jessica immediately started using drugs again the day after moving with her grandmother.
According to Foster's News, Joyce Cassie said that if she could talk to her daughter now, she would remind her that she never stopped loving her. Jessica's family encourages people to reach out for help and "get nosy", also for parents to pay attention to their kids and ask questions because heroin is in their communities.
